[laughter] [applause] every time i look at what is happening there, i keep thinking of a story that a good friend once told. we were doing a summit. one of the first budget summits during the reagan administration, democrats and republicans sitting in a room. it was tough. all of the tough issues were on the table, entitlements, discretionary spending. it was not easy, but we stayed there. leadership said we had to stay in the room and not leave until we got a deal. every time we were close to a deal, someone would get out and walk out in disgust. sylvio said i am sick and tired of this. this reminds me of a story of the three missionaries, the british, the french, and
